[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

The pure white lily of the valley's real name is Saphira. She is not actually a native of Fontaineland, but a mixed-race.

She was from Nata and came to Fontaine to live with her wealthy father who was a nobleman, but she didn't expect to encounter robbers on the way.

Although she grew up in Nata, a place with constant war, she was not afraid of this group of treasure robbers who were no match for her, but for some reason, she chose to cooperate with this group of trash.

Saphira has always been grateful that she made such a decision. Otherwise, she would not have met the Supreme Inquisitor Lord Villette who came personally to deal with the bad guys, nor would she have sat in the victim's seat and witnessed Lord Villette's heroic figure when he judged the criminals.

She was so intoxicated by this noble and beautiful man that she even gave herself the elegant nickname "Pure White Lily of the Valley". She wanted to eradicate the weeds around this man that did not conform to her aesthetics at all costs.

For example, this disgusting woman named "Chloe" not far away.

The dagger hidden in her sleeve had been quietly grasped in her hand at some point. She approached calmly and sat on the other side of the bench with a natural look on her face.

After all, it was a public facility, and Chloe, who was sitting on the same bench, just looked at her strangely and didn't say anything.

Saphira was looking for a deadly strike, so at the moment all her attention was focused on the target not far away, and she didn't notice the crowd of onlookers that were quietly closing in.

Yes, almost half of the people here today are members of the special patrol team prepared by Villette.

As a major security agency of Mo Mang Palace, the Special Patrol Team’s military strength is naturally needless to say, and it can be regarded as a thick layer of insurance for this plan.

Saphira didn't think about it. This was the first day of the working week. How could there still be so many adults wandering around on the streets?

Having neglected this point, she was almost doomed to fail today, but now she was still staring at Chloe without knowing anything.

Safira's appearance is very deceptive. Due to malnutrition in her childhood, she is not very tall now. At first glance, she looks like a child.

She had deceived many people in this way, and now she planned to repeat the same trick to get close to Chloe.

"Sister..." Saphira looked confused and sat closer.

The moment she approached, Chloe tensed up instantly, but worried that this would alert her, she forced herself to relax.

That Villette had told her that in the judicial process of Fontaine there was a principle called the presumption of innocence, that is, if a person was suspected of having committed a crime, but there was no definite evidence to prove it, the suspect would be deemed innocent.

If she wanted to resolve the issue of the pure white lily of the valley fundamentally, she had to wait until this person actually took action. She absolutely, absolutely could not alert the enemy now.

So she showed a friendly smile and took the initiative to move closer: "Hello, little sister, what's wrong, do you need any help?"

Saphira was indeed confused by her attitude. She admired her own superb disguise skills, but at the same time she laughed at her naivety in her heart.

But Villette would be back soon, so she didn't have much time to think about it. She took advantage of the moment when Chloe approached and decisively pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed her in the chest.

Saphira moved quickly, but Chloe, who had been prepared for a long time, reacted even faster. When she saw the reflection of the iron in her hand, she jumped up and quickly got behind the person next to her. She hid while wailing: "She did it! She did it! Catch her!"

The surrounding special patrol team members immediately rushed forward.

Only then did Saphira realize that everything that had happened recently was actually a trap set for her.

She gritted her teeth and took a last hateful look at Chloe who was hiding behind someone else. With her petite figure, she dodged the special patrol team that rushed over to catch her, and climbed over the bench and decisively prepared to flee the scene.

It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work this time. There’s still a long way to go. The important thing is to save your life.

Although she had always been looking forward to witnessing Lord Villette's face again during the trial, and did not mind being the one being tried, the prerequisite was that the crime would not put her to death. She was a person who understood what sustainable development meant.

Saphira's attitude of cherishing her life made her moves incredibly fast, but it was a pity that she was facing Fontaine's elite troops, the Special Patrol Team.

"Captain Xiawolei!" Seeing that she was about to run away, Chloe anxiously shouted the name of the person standing in front of her.

Xia Wole's expression remained normal. The Eye of the Fire Element God on her waist lit up for a moment, and a spear appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this scene, the special patrol team members moved away one after another to make way for the captain to perform.

Xiawolei shook the rifle in her hand, half-knelt down, aimed at the almost invisible fugitive, and pulled the trigger under Chloe's nervous gaze.

Following a gunshot, Saphira in the distance let out a short wail, fell to the ground, holding her bleeding calf, and the dagger in her sleeve fell out.

"Let's call it a day." Xia Wole smiled proudly and waved her hand to let the team members take the man away to stop the bleeding and prepare for the next trial.

Villette arrived late, and the first thing she did when she came back was to pull Chloe from head to toe, carefully observing whether someone was still intact.

After Chloe strongly assured him that she was really safe and not hurt, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed her the hot coffee in his hand to warm her hands - in order to make the play more realistic, he actually went to Luze Cafe. Chloe smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

Xia Wulei was not a person without sensible ideas. She stood quietly by the side until they finished talking about the past, then she stepped forward to report the current situation to Navilette: "We have both witnesses and evidence, so the situation should be settled. However, we still need to go through the same process to convict. Before the trial, the special patrol team will be responsible for temporarily detaining the criminal."

"Thank you for your hard work, Chavore." Navrette nodded.

Xiawolei scratched his head and said, "It's my job. Master Villette is too polite."

It was no secret within the Mo Mang Palace that the Shadow Chasing Court had been investigating the matter of the Pure White Lily of the Valley. Being able to help Villette this time was a good job for the Special Patrol Team. From the most intuitive point of view, a bonus was definitely indispensable. Xia Wole had even planned what delicious food to buy after getting the bonus.

So she actually hoped that Villette would cause them more trouble. Of course, she couldn't say these words, otherwise it would be too immoral.

Xiawolei muttered as she walked away with her teammates.

When Villette got the chance, she turned around and gave Chloe a bunch of instructions, mostly asking if she was scared or not. The man holding her tightly with both hands seemed to be even more scared than she was.

For the first time, Chloe discovered that Villette had this side of her. She had been listening carefully, but in the end she couldn't help laughing.

Now, Villette couldn't be serious anymore, and could only sigh like an old father: "Anyway, this matter has come to an end. Ms. Chloe should have a good rest at home today."

"What about Lord Villette?" Chloe asked curiously, looking up.

That Villette also hoped to be able to accompany her in the future, but he still needed to deal with the follow-up of the pure white lily of the valley incident. In order to be able to open the court on time, he had to show up later.

Every trial in Fontaine will be announced in advance. It is a major event that people talk about with relish and cannot be taken lightly.

After hearing his explanation, Chloe volunteered: "Don't underestimate me. After all, I am also an employee selected by the Court of Complexity."

You have to know that the position of a paramedic is a hot commodity outside. She had fought her way out of millions of people to get this job. Needless to say, her psychological endurance is strong, otherwise she would not have been able to scare Saphira so much.

"If I wasn't your secretary, you wouldn't be able to enjoy your work!"

She didn't want Villette to run around because of the pure white lily of the valley while she had to go back to rest, so of course she had to do everything she could to stay!

Villette was amused by her exaggerated words, but since she thought it was okay, he certainly wouldn't refuse her kindness: "Then I'll ask Ms. Chloe for help."

Chloe saluted like a joker: "My pleasure!"

*
Three days later, the trial of Saphira arrived as scheduled amid the anticipation of the people of Fontaine, and Chloe was invited to attend as the victim.

Safira's attitude remained the same as before, she refused to admit it, but unfortunately, even with sufficient evidence, she still couldn't escape the fate of being sent to Melelo Petersburg.

Even if Villette strictly follows the rules and does not resort to lynching, there are people in Melo Petersburg who would attack Saphira just to please him, which is why the latter is so afraid this time.

This was also the reason why she didn't kill Chloe at first.

The toy gun that was only for show and the non-venomous snake that she had found were all ways for her to escape. However, due to her arrogance of not being caught for a long time and after she found that the two people were getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but take real action.

Perhaps she would regret it after spending some "happy" days in Mellow Petersburg, but it was too late.

Chloe would never forgive her.

After leaving the court, she did a bold thing. She quietly went to Villette's backstage and begged him to open a back door for her to see Saphira's miserable appearance with her own eyes.

Villette was somewhat embarrassed, but in the end, she was keen on having fun so she was granted special permission by Fernina, who even happily followed them to the secret passage behind the Opikle Opera House that led to the Melo Petersburg.

Chloe looked at Saphira who was being escorted in full armor, and suddenly smiled. Then she grabbed the collar of Villette beside her unexpectedly and exchanged a long kiss with him.

Saphira's eyes were wide open, and she looked like she wanted to eat her alive.

Chloe glared back at him unceremoniously: "What are you looking at? Do you have any problem with me kissing my boyfriend?"

Poor Saphira couldn't even say anything back before she was dragged away.
